Yes if you're a woman, make sure you wear pants
Those mirror floors make it very easy to see up skirts/dresses
I’m tryna show myself off
Which I noticed, when I saw some women not wearing any underwear
where can I buy a kilt
i think voyeuristic tendencies align with people who enjoy teamlabs
I want a straw poll lol
I dunno, if I was a better looking person from all angles I’d go there without pants
What’s the point not wearing them otherwise
I land Oct 6 if anyone wanna grab dinner then? Will be in Ginza to shop since my luggage is like 3 days of clothes
Might join you, what time?
I should be there around 1pm15-30, but first need to buy some stuff at bic camera. You can either join me already or we meet up right after around 2 pm
Alrighty. I was planning on going to Shinjuku Gyoen soon, then maybe lunch then shopping
I’d be up for shinjuku gyoen actually
You think we could do it together when meeting up ?
I already had lunch btw
am going to shinjuku soonish as well. Have space for a third? ^-^
Ofc
I’m heading to this place first
Need to buy a couple of things, then I’m ready to hang around
Anyone up for Osaka meetups, seems everyone's in Tokyo 😭
Oki ^-^ Ill probably get some lunch first
Im in osaka tomorrow im pretty sure ^-^
I think best is if you get lunch, either separately or together then we meet up right after around 1pm30-2pm or so 🙂
Yuhhh
I’ll be in Osaka in like 4 days
Need to find a good place for one of these things xD my food bucketlist
Try manrai in Shinjuku for ramen
Where you getting lunch?
So 10 cocktails?
I tried sake on an empty stomach a few days ago for the first time lol
Ah i shall look at it, thank you!
Everyone is entitled to consume however much they like 😅
Not really. Want to meet in Shinjuku station and figure that out?
I can be there in 30 min
Sure
I can be there in like 40?
Meet probably at uniqlo or smt
Hai sir
I'm going to visit this today for anyone is interested. And maybe hit one of the food joints in asakusa
If anyone is interested lmk
What’s the shinjuku crew doing? Garden?
2ppl eating then 3ppl walking around probably some gyoen garden stuff
all right I have to go surgically replace my feet. If people are getting together later in the evening lmk
Just find some sento and give yourself a few hours
I’ll be in Osaka from tomorrow on
I'd go to shinjuku but it would take me like 3 hours to get there everyone would be gone 😔
For those wanting to go to shinjuku gyoen, should we just meet up at the entrance around 2pm ?
Why is it so hottt in the subway ugh
Sounds about right, me and edvin are getting lunch in like 20 min
Meanwhile my train is like 20C
We meeting in this one?
I thought this one
Nooo
I mean theyre close enough either way
Mine is closer to the park tho
Meet at family mart in the middle gg
Hai
My train is still working its way to shinjuku ‘^-^
Take your time its not like im starving
Same
Want to meet at manrai instead?
Probably also easier for u
You guys meeting up at shinjuku again 👀
The ramen place
For the garden
Hmm sure ^-^
You joining us? ^-^
I'm going to the garden, not sure when i will be there but i will be there before 3pm
Ramen place
I think it closes at 4 fyi
I love google maps
Best cart position/where the stairs are + look for these signs + its this exit
It does. I will probably be there a little bit after 2pm
(Time thing is inaccurate btw. Just needed it to take the same path, different time)
I need breakfast
Man everything in this country closes so early
I miss jet lag and waking up at like 3am
We meeting at 2 so u can join us
I mean if ur in shinjuku soon u could join our food thingy ^-^
Also yeah
Like 1:15pm is food and 2pm is garden
+-20% of not finding the subway exit google tells u to exit through
I will be at Shinjuku station at 13:23
Trueeee as well
Or are you guys at Shinjuku sanchome?
Here ^
5 min for me
Had to walk from sanchome
Why is it SO HOT again
I thought we were done with this
Japan xD
It's only 23 C
It’s perfect today
Where are you guys meeting up? At that family mart?
Weaklings
@rich meteor ^-^
Yeah it's fine but i should have worn shorts
It was chilly in the morning
I'm kinda here?
But cant actually find the place
Yeah though ive had shops still be closed so many times
Purple adidas shirt
@rich meteor you joining our foodventure?
What are your dates?
Heading to the shinjuku gyoen now, see you there in a bit 😁
Were gonna be a bit late, just got our food
Ok no worries, I’ll just walk around in the meantime 😄
Sheesh kyoto gon hit u like a mofo Mars landing on Earth
I’ll probably go to golden gai tonight if someone is interested
All I’ve been hearing is how busy Kyoto is haha. So I’m trying to prep myself for that.
I don’t think I’m ready
Heading out now
Which entrance?
Kk
Lmk when you get here. I’m wearing all black and am carrying a brown plastic bag with me
Sounds suspicious
I also smell some flour and dried herbs for those interested 💰
Smell? Or sell? 👁️👁️
Both lol
There’s a curry shop which smells nice near the main entrance
Almost there
@tardy lodge you're also coming to the garden?
Tomorrow night is my favourite party of the month https://www.instagram.com/p/CxpHJljSAuv/
I don’t often do late-night events anymore, but I will always stay up for SUPERFUZZ
What's special about it? 😁
Alternative music party—a rare thing when 90% of events here are electronic music. But they mix in EDM stuff as well for a non-stop hard playlist that you can both sing along and lose yourself to
Sounds awesome
Anyone up for some drinks today in kyoto ? I’d be open to just get something and sit by the river or go into a bar or whatever 👍
I am starvinggg
Anyone gonna eat soon in shinjuku?
Or already ate amd can recommend a good spot
There’s a nice Chinese place in the dungeon between Keio line and Toei/Keio new lines
On the right side if you look away from jr zone
In shinjuku gyukatsu motomura is really good! I heard there may be a line thought.
that place does look good. they have several shops
Thanks guys ill check em both out!!
I just had it this morning and can definitely recommend
What was the price range roughly? @patent notch
2000 - 2500 yen depending if you order drinks
Great prices! Ill go check it out once I gather strength to leave the hotel
Might be down! We’re going to get dinner first. Where in Kyoto are you?
Located near Kyoto main station 👍 just had lunch and back in my hotel now, but still up for anything 👍
I’ll let you know what our plans end up being. We are close to gojo station. Just got in, so will let you know
Okay, so after dinner my friends and I are going to head over to a few of the temples and the geon area which is close to the river I think. I’ll let you know when we are heading out there in case you want to join
Im Close to geon area, just hmu whenever you guys are going and imma see if im still nearby
Roger Roger
Koto city tomorrow anyone? Teamlab planets, water science museum, and emerging science innovation museum are on my list for tomorrow
Hello! Please change your tag. Also, just fyi, nobody uses “cities” in Tokyo, it’s much easier to use major train stations to refer to areas.
@median junco changed. Also thanks
I'll probably train to kachidoki station and walk the rest of the way
Why?
You can just use trains
That will save you a lot of time. And have a long walk some time in the evening, preferably in central Tokyo
@rigid chasm Are you still interested in checking out some jazz clubs in and around Tokyo?
It's not a too far of walk from the station. I don't mind saving the money while taking in all the cool views
Alright. Cool. Keep me posted.
Will do. I’m grabbing dinner at Kyubey at 6, then I can meet anywhere
I think teamlabs is near Toyosu, but whatever works for you!
I'll have to recheck what the best station is and I'll message here again tomorrow before I travel
It’s right next to yurikamome shin toyosu station
In theory you can walk there from Kachidoki too but toyosu station is closer
I'll see. I suggested kachidoki so I don't have to switch trains but I'll check again tomorrow
Heading to this place called L'Escamoteur
Seems like it’s in your area
Might be a wait to get in. I’ll let you know when we head towards something less seated if that makes sense
That place looks dope. Planning to hit it next week
Is this place in Kyoto?
Yeah it’s in Kyoto. Pretty fun place but basically a gaijin bar haha
The bartenders were all non Japanese
Thanks for the info, @shut loom .
😭😭😭 I just landed back in the states! but go see some jazz on my behalf! if you do end going to check out jazz, would recommend you get to the set on time - i tried that one night but actually missed more than half of it so gave up lol. shit starts on time out here, it’s crazy
Okay! Yes, shiz starting/being on time… one of the reasons I love Japan. 🙂
Heading to Kyoto today!
I don't know if this is the right place to post, but:
32 M from the Netherlands, solo traveling, will be staying in Tokyo/Shinjuku till the 14th, and Osaka from Oct 15th to the 20th, and then Tokyo again (Ginza) from the 20th to the 25th. Would love to meet up with other first timers or more experienced travelers, with my ultimate goal being karaoke!
I wanna do karaoke so bad on the trip
Nothing prevents you from doing it then
Nice im also from netherlands and also staying till 25th and also staying in those 3 areas with similar dates LOL
Oh shit whaddup! Also arrived yesterday at 8?
Ah, shame
Reupping: tonight's place to party is SUPERFUZZ #1139523063667507380 message
I'll be there
More and more people from the Netherlands

Yeah, enjoying that second day jetlag. Awake since 5 💀
And a lot of stores don't open till noon, apparently
Oh, I should do that, but with my tattoos that'd require some preparation
Oof yess in my hotel they allow tattoos if u can cover them up with 2 stickers but if not they dont allow it
Gonna need more than 2 stickers 😂
Couple of rolls of aluminum foil
Hahahah
I just checked the weather forecast im so unlucky
The ome day i wanted to go see mt fuji its gonna rain and be cloudy 😭
I'm going to kill time till the stores open at a maid cafe, wish me luck
Ur in akihabara?
Yeah!
O damn im omw there rn
Gonna go do some arcades n look for retro stuff if u wanna kill time after maid cafe feel free to join
Yeah that could be fun! Was basically kinda my plan
Doesn't seem that big, from what I've seen so far
Im gonna look for retro nintendo stuff hehe
Did u already eat? @halcyon marsh
Im gonna get some food first somewhere
LMAOO
I'm hoping to find coffee, some sweets, and my inner fire to live again at the maid cafe
Goodluck sir 🫡
@cobalt fern for sure bro
Didnt experience any delays but my app did mention it yeah
Im just sitting somewhere eating brunch
So should be done around 12 too
Cool cool
Maid cafés are, in fact, not low energy, relaxed spaces to gather one's energy
Idek what i ordered
But its nice hahah
And everyone eats here woth knife and fork, this is def not japanese LOL
Slme type of bibimbap
It’s pepper lunch
Family restaurant
ペッパーランチの代表メニュー。毎日挽きたてのブラックペッパーと、特製のペッパーペーストが味の決め手。あつあつの鉄板の上で美味しく香ります。クセになる、後引く美味しさです。
And this is what you ordered
Beef pepper rice
Lmfao o no
Time to make akibabara unsafe
And get everyone out of the stores
So i got it all to myself
😈
Aah yeah pepper lunch is mostly butter lol
I just finished hanging out in asukusa. Grabbing lunch in ueno and may drop by akiba later in the afternoon
Nice let us know we might still be there
I just arrived too
I gotta be back in my hotel by 7 pm so i got all day
Anyone in Osaka open for some drinks tonight ?:)
Doing Tokyo pub crawl tonight
PINK pub crawl party! (FRI) ピンク・パーティー!(金) https://peatix.com/event/3698714
Link for anyone that’s interested
I'm thinking of doing that tomorrow in Osaka if anyone is keen.
3k for a pubcrawl? I'd rather go to the nearest convenience store and drink there
I’m not stopping you
They do give you a shot at every bar
Is that something you / someone you know organises?
Nah just something I saw online
I'm not sure what Tokyo pub crawl is like, but the Osaka one the first bar is unlimited drinks as well, and last time I'd say I had 5 beers or so, plus 3 shots, so it worked out well for the value.
Only spent 800¥ at a club later in the night, so 3800¥ isn't bad.
600 yen on strong zeros and im HAMMERED
I havent gone past 2 and that was a wild ride already
Anyone wants to join for dinner? Around Shinjuku or Akiba. I'm thinking about Indian but open to other suggestions.
Damn... I wish you had put this out there last night. Was in Shinjuku last night with a couple others on this server.
Missed that, i just joined the server yesterday. Maybe others are here today. I will be in Tokyo for at least another week and then probably in Okinawa, but nothing planned yet
How long are you planning on staying in Okinawa for?
Still looking to drink? I’m headed to asakusa but free after
Planning around 10 days
potentially! headed back to minato now
got any places in mind?
don’t know just got out of the airport like 30mins ago
Alright… we could meetup in Okinawa for some meals probably
I’ll be free in Tokyo after 9pm! If nothing else, might check out a Shinjuku bar my friend went to with some ppl in this group before
which bar?
I'm near Akihabara, but I'll need to go home (asakusa) first. So maybe 19-20h
I'm down to clown after 19h
Sounds good to me, I'm hungry so the earlier the better 😅
@everyone I'm down to eat at around 19:30 and go drink afterwards ✌️
Where’s dinner at?
Hi! Is anyone currently near Asakusa Station and wanna hang?
Bar Pygmalion
Though hotel’s not too far from Akiba, so if y’all are still hanging out after 9pm, could join
Walking towards it xd
Not decided yet, is everyone fine with Indian?
google maps says its closed 😵
But I'm heading to my hotel to relax a bit. I'm tired
You're welcome to join 😄
I think it must be showing lunch hours, no way it’s only open 9am-3pm 💀
Look at the images / reviews. Could be 15h, since too many places close early
Ayye asakusa gang. I'm like 13 minute walk from it, but I'm settling into my hostel rn
Join us in an hour to grab food and find bars afterwards ✨️
Well my friend said he pulled multiple all-nighters there, so I think it just parsed the wrong info lol
I can join for drinks after
Gonna just shower and take care of stuff I need for room
BETTT just lmk, worse case i'll join up for drinks
Got a place in mind?
Come to think of it, we have to choose either or place. I forgot how spread apart Asakusa and Akihabara are..
Sultan Akihabara looks good, but there are a lot of options
I’m at asakusabashi so right in the middle
Heyo ppls ^-^ I happen to be in asakusa right now. What are people planning there? Food and drinks? ^-^
Yeah I'm asking glico man for the best places as we speak
(I am on the dotonbori and am down for drinks)
I'm near asakusa
@frank needle is that your Google maps location right now? I'm like 5 minutes away
Barely 5 minutes
Still here
Wait....
Have I doxxed myself on accident?
Bro I saw that same airbnb on the site lol
Im grabbing something to eat just now but theoretically would be up to have a few I think
I picked out a different one because I didn't want a hostel
Im near namba station
Not that bad, and the people are quiet
I wouldn’t call it accident if you share it multiple times 😂
- they clean the bathrooms / showers every day
Yeah, I should have called it accidents with an S
@frank needle if it weren't for the fact I just ate kfc I'd offer to go out. Do you have a tight schedule tomorrow? My buddy and I are heading to the euno tomorrow morning
I might be picking up a friend at the airport or not. So idk yet
We can split up anytime but if you wanna hang out for any duration your welcome to join us
What is your plan for ueno?
When is this? ^-^ and can i join?
After I go to the toilet.... I'm so lazy rn 😭
University art museum and the royal art museum. After that I think we will push south to do the Imperial palace and museums by there
It's going to be a big museum day for us
Fair xD do yall know where yet?
But yes, the more the merier gaijiner
Asakusa Station between now and 30 mins

This trip to Japan is making me discover myself in more areas than expected
Asakusa st
Do you have a destination or is it just to roam around
Gaijinjuku - A spiritual journey of self discovery and sumiing ones last masen.

Eat and drink. Asakusa isn't the place to party but there have to be enough bars around to have fun
Just eating at Yakiniku like today

Im still not ok though, I think it’ll take me an hour roundabout to be ready
Bit more maybe
Do you guys have a time to meet? I can literally be there within 20 minutes
Yeah I'm at the Don Quixote asakusa rn but should be close to meet up wherever too
Im there already chilling and snacking on konbini items

2 Days until flight... Can't wait
yall who are headin in japan just now, im jelous of yall
i should've scheduled my trip to start now instead of 2 weeks ago
perfect weather
I was dead on the 30+ degree days last week
I'm up north right now (Morioka and briefly Hachinohe) and it's been extremely windy and colddd
It’s getting pretty chilly in Tokyo too at night now
idk if it's chilly but i come from a snowing every month climate so
im still wearing my shorts ez
Me too
But I was here for two weeks with scorching heat
And now it’s 16 degrees all of a sudden. Still shorts weather but yeah
snowing every month?!?!
Sounds like a cold fkn country if it snows every month
Pretty fuckin cold all of a sudden
Cold, pfftttp
At least 1 day in a month sometimes yeah
where is that? Iceland?
but does it even snow in summer there...
Every day I load up the weather app for Tokyo and Osaka and telepathically will the temperature a little lower
please delete tokyo, it is too cold now
Imagine not catching the 20° cool nights
By the time I'm there in 9 days, I expect beautiful 20-max weather!
Oh its 20 outside now? It was 16 last time I looked at the app 😂
Its lit
18 and a lil wind is like 
My bro still at tokyo huh
Im happy im lightweight, 1 strong zero amd 1 beer and im already way up lol
Osaka is proving more stubborn. Maybe I should direct more brainwaves there.
no, I just don't care about Osaka now 😄
but please delete Tokyo
Bruh I just came back after a week
WHO tryna get drinks
Shitt i was out in asakusa i didnt see :o
:(

Next time plan it earlier so i can join ^-^
Ended up at an Asakusa bar called Not Suspicious, only local was the bartender 
Met Americans, Finns, and Germans

Hi! Just booked a solo trip. Arriving oct 17 to tokyo and flying to sapporro. Will be there and in hakadote for about five nights and then tokyo for 5 nights. Havent booked any lodging
lmaooo i'm weak ok 🥲 that was already too much heat and humidity for me
I’ll be in Tokyo on the 9th-14th. Anyone free to meetup in the evening?
Anyone in Osaka tonight or tomorrow? Coming in today and staying on Shinsaibashi.
@keen jackal im at shinosaka
happily travelling solo atm but if anyone needs company in Tokyo for the next two days hit me up
i’m doing a daytrip to yokohama today followed by enoshima/kamakura tomorrow

Hey everyone!
Canadian, 27M. Third time in Japan. I get there on the 27th of October and staying for about 3 weeks. Staying a bit in Tokyo then going to a couple of places and back to Tokyo around November 12 to stay a few days.
On the hunt for new things I haven't done before - and can give lots of recs for folks visiting their first time.
Is there a WhatsApp group or line group to join?
I should be in osaka later today/tonight ^-^
@cedar sparrow @keen jackal Also in Osaka and staying near ShinOsaka
I'll be wandering Dotonbori in the evening if any of you keen to join.
Tossing up if I go on the pub crawl or not.
Is anyone else going to Takayama for the autumn festival on the 9th and 10th?
Im goin to himeji now
There is a food festival going on in Nara atm for the next 9 days. It seems pretty touristy but for anyone interested I still wanted to share :)
Hell yes. Definitely hitting that up
Usually food festivals in America are horrible, so… the bar is quite low
Already blocked my schedule for my vacation I’m so stoked
messages redirected
outlook email signature set up
just gotta get on a jet
I'm staying in shinsaibashi too.
Osaka Pub Crawl is every Saturday, done it once before and was fun enough
When I left my city for Japan, it was 47 C 😄
Ah cool where is it?
Is this tonight? I just got to osaka yesterday n looking for people to hang out with 🙂
@spare blaze @steel inlet this is the site - I bought online last time
http://osakapubcrawl.com/
Explore Osaka's nightlife, join a Osaka party and mingle with locals at the city's longest running and largest pub crawl event.
Setting up the auto response feels so good
What up!
Missed my train to Osaka by 1 minute. 😩
Don't you mean, you got the the train station 59 mins early ?
Now you'll get a seat for sure ! :D
NFI why but my ears are popping like crazy on today's shinkansen
Air pressure from going up and down so fast
Yeah doesn't usually happen, but today's different
Where can I get a normal massage
Idk it always happens to me... I don't the like the shinkansen for that specific reason. The headaches are too strong after 3 hours of 📈📉📈📉📈📉
you sure it’s not from the strong zero
No that's to ease the headaches
Is it walk in only? Looks like a place I want to check out
Yeah it’s walk in only and definitely recommend you go at least once
Pick anywhere that's actually Japanese.
If you do go, probably 2 max it’s only like 10 seats inside
The bar type seating
what area you recommend? I’ll walk around and find one 😂
I saw some signs outside some places but looks sus
Anything that's sexy, has boobs etc avoid. Anything Thai, or non Japanese avoid.
Hotel massages are actually legit if that helps.
Anyone have any insight into Hakodate lodging? As in what area to stay?
It takes me entirely too long to respect how punctual japans public transit is
Too used to Los Angeles where it’s +/-30 minutes and you just hop on
LA Publish transportation? No way, lol. From the Bay and SD and Japan blows anything we have in they states away.
Yeah… each time I come here, I have to re-learn
just embarrassing what we accept for how much we pay in taxes
I somehow slept way too long oops
Dude, it’s disgusting. I was just having a conversation with someone from the Bay on how expensive the state is and what you actually have to do for a living to be comfortable.
Apparently you can just take whatever you want from stores for free though
Yup, as long as you’re below $999. But be a dollar over and then all hell will break loose.
Could use a fifth PS5…
It’s acceptable
So the high taxes aren’t so bad then
Stay near the south, that way you have the brick warehouses, mountain with ropeway and the surrounding area with some interesting buildings. Basically only the star fortress is a little bit out and everything els is in walking distance
I can recommend Pension Jokura, it's a nice guesthouse to stay, nice atmosphere and couple running it.
Haven’t lived in the states in almost three years if that tells you anything.
Got a lot of looting to catch up on then
Thanks!!
Not really my scene.
Im on shikansen to osaka rn 😎
@magic mango @keen jackal talking about doing some type of group meet in Osaka
I see now that after my 2 hour nap, that that message is 2 hours older than it was before, hmm
@wet ginkgo how far are you out from Osaka?
You on the 509? 😅
ugh like see ya bitches im gone
hahhaah
wait what lol
Uhhh the Hikari shinkansen from tokyo
That was mine too haha
Yep it would be.
On my way to shinsaibashi now.
You can steal anything you want up to $1000 and you can’t be stopped
Anyone in the Kita Ward?
bad advice lolol
Loose ends in Tokyo tomorrow, come down to Ebisu for the most memorable show #events message
Thinking about doing a day trip from osaka to tokushima tomorow morning early around 7:30am at shin osaka station. Commute takes about 2 hour 40 mins to get there.
Hit me up if yall in osaka are down.
Anyone going to be in Nikko the 20-22 looking to do some hiking?
What are you guys planning to do ?
Grab dinner and do a pub crawl after?
id love to join if theres space ^-^
Same here 👍
5 people then
Is it the paid pubcrawl i saw posted earlier, or just pub hopping
It’s the paid one
Can you link it again ?
Kobe beef is good
Explore Osaka's nightlife, join a Osaka party and mingle with locals at the city's longest running and largest pub crawl event.
Is it this one ?
Yup, that’s the one
Just bought tickets to the pub crawl.
Absolutely!
Nope lol. So I accidentally bought an extra ticket. So find me and I’ll get you in.
Got my ticket as well
Hmmm might go shop for a pink shirt or smt then xD
anyone wanna get some dinner before the pubcrawl? ^-^
Wanna meet somewhere around 6-6:30 near the first bar?
Not feeling great but I'll come along then bail whenever if I don't feel better.
Yeah that sounds fun
For food or for meeting?
I am currently looking for something pink too
shitt xD i dont got anything pink
I will spill yorgut on my red shirt
Smarttttt
Will I be okay to wear shorts at the clubs here?
I'll google it
Hmm got a big "probably not" from Google
Might need to run out and get pink pants
What’s up with the pink?
Dinner 👍
Could meet at a meeting spot then pick food?
Unless someone knows a good spot
I'm in a tonkatsu or currey mood, but I will eat whatever. Will probably meet at the food place because I gotta get some pants!
I am staying just north of the dotonbori btw
I'm on shinsaibashi, very close to dotonbori too
Yeah most places won't let you in without pants...
Tonkatsu sounds good to me
Dammm all you guys in Osaka together 🥲 I’m still in Tokyo. Will be in Osaka 11-20th anyone still gna be there?
I’ll be in Tokyo on the 9th! @tiny cliff
Ye everyone left 😭
Im gonna go to osaka 10th
Most likely not
A friend of mine had to buy some long pants at don Quiote because otherwise he wouldn’t be able to get into the club 😭
Earliest I could do would be 6:30
The bathing room in my hotel only opens up at 17:30 😭
I’m free now. Who wants to meet for food?
Where abouts? We can then let others know etc
I just bought my ticket. If you guys tell me where and when you meet I can see when I’ll be able to be there
I’m currently in front of loft
Could just head over near the pub crawl start and find food from there
Was afk for a sec to shower, am back now. Where do ppl wanna eat?
I'm literally staying in dotonbori so it's easy for me to pop out and meet somewhere nearby before the crawl
Im at namba, lemme see how far away that is
15 min walk from dotonbori rn it seems
think im safe xD
Im at namba too, you wanna meetup before and go together ?
I can be ready in about 30 minutes id say
I be here rn. Preparing to head out
Wait lol
That’s my hotel
Which floor are u on
Lol
alright xD lol
Hi, excited to be flying into Japan tonight for two weeks! Here’s itinerary, would love to meet up with you guys to get food, drinks/ chat, or explore on a couple of nights! Looking forward meeting you guys!
Oct 11-15th: Kyoto/ Daytrip to osaka
Oct 16-20th: Tokyo
Just realized I don’t have cash. Credit card ok?
For bigger shops usually yes but you can't rely on it and there are many cash only places. Better get some cash from an ATM, you can easily find them at convenience stores
Referring to the place we’re going to. Left my debit card in my room.
Hotel isn’t far, 7 minute walk
If we do dinner at a chain place etc then I imagine it's fine
Ready when u are
Wanna meet at 5th and grab a beer beforehand or just meet in the lobby ?
Uhh ready in a sec
Uhh i dont drink beer xD
Where's convenient for you guys?
I think we are like 1km away from the pub crawl starting place
I’m on my way
Anyone has a place in mind to eat ?
Im in lobby
Coming
Any good Tonkatsu or Yakinuku spots near by?
Either sounds good to me. Anyone know a spot?
We’re in Namba, 15 mins from dotonbori ^-^ but well look ya
4-6? Not sure
Just spent 6k yen on cranes…
4 of us at least
Two banpresto figures and 4 big plushie was the haul
You did well!
two banpresto figures is the real haul
I gave away the rest lol
Anyone wanna go to ikebukaro later
Update: pants secured
Hmm those look good
Yakiniku looks amazing!
Ping me when one is chosen ill make it unless group is too big
Though probably not wise to pick the 5-6k yen place + we only have 45 mins until start
The Yakiniku rikimaru looks good if you guys want to opt for yakiniku
Im up for anything though
The other tonkatsu place looks good but small, not sure we'd fit?
You guys doing dinner first?
lets see if theres space
Where at
Meet there and whoever gets there first checks if there’s space ?
This place it seems like
Be a degen gambler
I’ll join for dinner as well!
But actually all skill o played the cutting line game
Damn i only wanted to win this tiny kirby coin purse, spend like 2000 yen and got nothing
Ohh ye i didnt try that
the average was high cuz the claw machines were hard
The two ban presto took me 600 yen
@safe niche can you show the map for this place?
Alright omw to the katsu place
Thats impressive only 600 yen
@keen jackal they are all close by the place, had to search one out individually
What rubber bands ones?
How do meetups happen? Does someone post an event/ place each night, or is it more impromptu?
Last minute
@void creek the one where they’re hanging by the line thing
I was planning to go to ikebukuro tmr also
Yeah that’s the ones I win
It’s just aim
I'm there in 7
Gmaps says 5 min for me
Don't judge my pants or else
Eta 7:20

Yeah it’s amazing
Just had it
Right before that I had Gyutan for dinner
Anyone in akihabara
We walked in a straight line!
Some small ass pub
We noticed the place got smaller
The group
Where do u rec kobe beef without waiting in line
just call and make reservations few day prior the best practice.
Rip I’m scared of making a phone reservation
with what japanese
Website?
oh yeah i speak japanese but most toursity spots have especially good english speaking attendants
if you go to wagyu restaurants, they all have english speaking staff
jus call and they will be happy to take ur moeny trust me lol
lmfaoaoa
it also depends if you are solo or duo traveler @tawny violet
solo…
ok good
so what i did is i just pop into one of the wagyu restaurants and asked if they have empty seats
if one doesnt have i jus go to the next one
oh sweet
at the second try they told me im good but i have to finish my meal in one hr
im like cool no problem
Damn it sounds packed…
Well fun I’m the asian tourist in kobe
i just want kobe beef in kobe
tokyo drift in tokyo
is that too much to ask
the problem is over tourism
the kobe beef in kobe is over-inflated in price and super crowded
cuz everybody wants to do the same thing
but nah bro if ur solo
you can jus ask and try i mean i did it today and today is like saturday
i got turned away from the first restaurant then the second one took me
for about 90 bucks, i'd say it was worth it i got a ribeye and a rump steak
Dang
i didnt like hte fatty flavor too much i think im enjoying the USDA prime at home jus fine
LOL thats a lot of wagyu i was gonna say
experience was worth it, but i probably wont do it agan
fair
Anyone have a link to the line chat?
A lot of the popular places are packed already, booked months and months in Ada Vance
You’ll have better luck just walking around and picking out a random spot
The a5 skewers are 💣 tho
It's been pretty dead tho
Might be because it never got posted in the October meetups thread 😬 couldn't find it there
It did on one low visibility comment but idk what is wrong this year, line has been dead
I've been following the posted ones in each thread since earlier this year. Discord might've replaced it
can’t be fucked to download another chat app rn
Great hanging will you all tonight!
Couldn’t stick around until the last club, but it was nice hanging with those of you that I met!
Had to leave to be able to sleep early for hakone.
Heading home
The WhatsApp is more busy, although even that's been quieter lately. September is historically the least popular month for Japan tourism
anyone know any hostels/hotels in Asakusa with a good bar or cafe on the main floor to hangout?
Hiking inari at 9:15 this morning in Kyoto if anyone wants to go
There is also a whatapp meetup group?
@void creek how do you feel about starting a little bit earlier? I’m about to be there in 5-10 mins
Ah no worries, I’ll wait
uh I used to be super fit it’s been a while
I’ll go at ur pace
I can endure it hopefully
I still workout and do cardio but like a twice a week kinda thing vs 7
Today is the day of Wang Dang Doodle's party - I will see any of you who want to show up in Ebisu later #events message
Damn! Wont be in Tokyo until tomorrow!
Any party/shows next week I should go to @mild sedge ?
